Thanks all for the thorough responses.
It's probably getting late, or more like I am getting old, but it seems that there are opposing opinions here, of what is considered the "more correct" side to break from.
From what I've read here it appears that the majority of players prefer to break from the left to the right if you are right handed and vice versa. I suspect that Grady's idea that it all comes out even in the wash is probably correct.
As a related bit of useless information....the legendary snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan plays equally well with both his left and right hand (on a 12' table, that is
)
For those that are not familiar with Ronnie.. he is arguably the most naturally gifted (and quickest) cueist to ever wield a cue. He is also a very temperamental rebel.
When he is in one of his "occasional" awnry moods he has been known to intentionally play alternating right hand and then left hand shots even though the table layout does not require it....just because he can.
As if I did'nt have a hundred other things that I need to learn in one pocket
Again guys, thanks for the responses.
Bernie.
